No I’m not surprised that Apple is making a 7″ iPad, after having wrangled the 10″ for a bit I know exactly why. Look at your hand, now look at the hand of your average sixth grader. See? The existing iPad, besides not having enough RAM and a camera, is heavy. It’s solid as a … Continue reading →

Sold my iPhone4. Not because of problems. Just a good opportunity so I took it. Didn’t mind my cell phone bill dropping $50 a month ($80 if you include the iPad I sold to o). Yeah I sold all my iStuff. My wife has my old 3GS so she can still get her tap-tap fix. … Continue reading →

When I originally started Xackr, it was going to be about installing portable apps that allowed you to move … Continue reading →

I had an AT&T Air Card, I paid $38 to “activate it” (which took 1 minute 45 seconds on the computer at AT&T) and $60 a month for 5GB of data. I needed to be able to take orders and set up demoes anywhere. I asked them at the time why it was $60 a … Continue reading →

I love Google Chrome. Probably my favorite browser for speed. I also like the combined search’n’url feature. Makes it really handy to use. That’s on a PC of course. Safari seems to blaze on my Mac while only a tad slower than Chrome on Win7. Then the not so fat lady sang. Opera feels like … Continue reading →
